Airlines Respond to Ebola Epidemic

Brussels Airlines, the Lufthansa Group and Air France have all taken measures to avoid the potential spread of the Ebola virus currently affecting some western and central African nations. The successor to the Belgium flag carrier SABENA has an 80-year association with Africa and has recently expanded its route structure across the continent. Despite disruptions and deaths caused by Ebola almost all cases have been recorded in remote areas and the carrier has continued to provide a vital role in linking Africa.

About Airliner World

In the November issue of Airliner World, we profile Australia’s leading domestic airline and flag carrier subsidiary QantasLink. We also report on Latvian carrier airBaltic’s recent turnaround, welcome the arrival of Qatar Airways’ first Airbus A380 and examine whether global airline alliances are here to stay, or are they being put under pressure by new models of inter-carrier co-operation
This issue celebrates some major landmarks; we join US Airways for the final flights of its iconic Boeing 737 Classics and we fly on the last Cyprus Airways service from London/Heathrow to Larnaca. Maintaining our historical theme, we have part 1 of the United/Continental Airlines story, and we fly Pam Am International Flight Academy’s full-motion Boeing 707 simulator, the last device of its kind in existence.
The latest issue incorporates our comprehensive coverage of worldwide news, including Garuda Indonesia’s new services from London to Jakarta, the Boeing 737 MAX 200 launch and the official opening of Jet2.com’s multi-million pound training facility, plus all of our regular sections covering the latest commercial aircraft acquisitions, up-to-date accident reports and developments from the world of aviation training.
